Responsibilities and Desires

"I came to the world to see the sun. I prayed to the world to be the sun."
Poems from Balmonte. How well written! Just listening to it makes one feel like the sun is shining. No wonder, Balmont is a noble after all. There is no worry about food and clothing, and the boat travels all over the world. The word "born" and "responsibility" have no fate. If you impose a responsibility on him, it is to fight for the dream. To put it bluntly, it is only a personal opinion, and a dream is nothing more than a personal desire. A man who lives only for his dreams is selfish in a sense. Like the eldest son in the movie. For the sake of music, at the age of 34, he is willing to open his mouth and ask his father for living expenses, and he can support himself by his wife, but this is understandable. There's no moral dogma, law or regulation that requires people to live for others, right? Of course, there are people in the world who choose this kind of life, such as the two characters in the movie. One is Ruth. When she is willing to give herself to a man at a certain moment, she is also ready to take responsibility for the rest of her life. It was 20 years of youth, but she was at peace in the ordinary, and she never thought about her dreams and desires? But in the comparison with responsibility, she completely chose the latter. Another character who is willing to abandon his dream is which dog, Blue, exists only in Troy's memories and in that song. The difference between it and Ruth is that it is a dog, and the concept of dreaming is incomprehensible to it. It only needs to catch mice and guard the beauty by the front door of its own backyard.

The rest of the characters are actually hesitating and hesitating in the balance between responsibilities and dreams. Although some of them perform their responsibilities well, they do blame others for failing to realize their dreams. Some are used to others being unconditionally responsible for him, and when they mistakenly think that they can live only for their dreams like a nobleman, they cowardly lose the responsibility that a man should have.

Everyone is like this. When they are at a high place and live so arrogantly, they are not afraid of loneliness, because they have a mind and ambition that is wider than the world. Once he sinks, he vows that he is willing to spend his life for whom. It's all empty talk. Fate has created a love and a marriage for you. It is a process of letting go of your personality for each other, and the same is true for your loved ones. The so-called letting go of personality means learning to balance and choose between responsibilities and desires.

We're human beings, and we shouldn't be as mediocre as Bruce. We are not nobles, so we should not be irresponsible, but even nobles, if they lose their responsibility, will gradually get lost and empty in the glitz. Dreams and responsibilities go hand in hand, and sometimes responsibilities are even more important. Because what supports us to live, apart from beliefs and dreams, is more responsibility. You can beg for your dreams, in fact, it is more to slack off in enjoyment, but never forget how many ties are behind you.

    Denzel Washington is a good actor, but maybe not a good director, because the setting of the film's dialogue really does not make good use of the medium of "movie". Viola Davis's two crying scenes are as penetrating as ever, one full of hatred and despair, one penetrates love and nostalgia, and makes people instantly taken into it.

    Danzel Washington at his best.
